The better question is what is up with the prices of ETH, DASH, and XMR. Those coins have been raising quite high in the past couple of days and it seems like it hasn't slowed down too from what I am seeing. But, let's see. Maybe when everything else goes down again bitcoins will shoot up to $2,000.

The ETF affected their prices the most, probably. After Bitcoin was rejected, people went to different other Altcoins to put their money into, and most of them probably went to all the three you have specified above, because they're the ones with the most potential to rise. I just hope it's not a pump and dump thing that will create "chaos" for the investors who put a lot of money in them right now.

I knew Monero will rise, but I didn't know about DASH and ETH. Now I heard about DASH being a scam. Possible, but unlikely in my opinion.. and I hope it's not. There have also been events recently that drove the prices even higher: the Netherlands' elections, the Brexit final vote, the Fed interest rate decision and possibly even others (these are the major ones). Check the Silver or Gold price chart in the last 24 hours! While others are increasing in price, Bitcoin had a small fall because investors are moving to other coins. But don't worry, this will have a recovery. Sooner or later!
